IT’S TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE.

MEET Cristine steele, LMFT IN brentwood, tn

Let me guess:

You're here because you are tired of living from old, outdated beliefs?

You’re a grown adult, yet find yourself searching for validation from others. You’re constantly questioning if you said something stupid or if your loved ones will leave you if they saw the real you. You are afraid of showing up as yourself, yet that is exactly what you long to do. You are tired of living life with all the ‘shoulds.’

you’re in the right spot.

How I work

At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that your authentic self is waiting for you to connect with Them.

Clients tell me that for the first time in their life, they feel seen & safe. They understand the significance of simply being witnessed in the fullness of their stories. They let me dig deep with them. They finally have an invitation to stop feeling like something is wrong with them and understand their childhood experiences in a new light. They are ready to get their stories straight, change negative core beliefs & live the life they want.

Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do.

in therapy with me…

We’ll dig deep.

If you want solely talk therapy, I’m not the therapist for you.

I will help you make sense of your childhood & the narratives you adapted as you grew up. You know those negative core beliefs you can’t seem to get over? We will go after those old, false narratives so you can be free and experience confidence & acceptance.

You’re in charge.

At the heart, I am a collaborative therapist. If at any point, you don’t like something or want to do something different, tell me! I expect my clients to give me feedback because I am always adapting to your needs. Working with me means that you’ll learn how to trust yourself, listen to your wants and needs & be able to communicate those to others!

I’ll cheer you on.

After a few months to a year of working together, you will notice a significant change in how you feel about yourself and your relationships. Often my clients report feeling better within a few months, but that lasting change will come as you put into practice what you are processing in session. Therapy doesn’t need to last for years. When you are feeling more connected to yourself and have processed what you came to therapy for, I’m going to cheer you on as you conclude (or pause) therapy with me. I’ll be a resource for you to come back to as needed.
